Beauty of Mathematics

Those who know me know I don't enjoy math. Numbers are so vague to me, which seems odd, being that numbers are very organized and absolute. Now words, despite being full of exceptions for pronunciation, spelling, usage, etc., make sense to me and are a delight. Numbers make me tense up and seem to have no personality. (For numbers with personalities, check out my sister's strange view of numbers)


However, here is something with numbers that I did enjoy ( from a blog I follow).
Our Creator is orderly, even with numbers, far beyond our comprehension.

Your sis's post about numbers was interesting. I had read an article in Smithsonian Magazine several years ago that talked about numbers/colors as some folks perceive them, and that it is hereditary, and that even though hereditary, two family members will not view the numbers/letters the same. And that the first time these folks mention how they perceive the color associations, they are met with such looks and responses from others, that they will often not mention it again for the majority of their lives, and think they are the only ones who do it.
I have no such interesting "excuse" for my constant struggle with anything number related. Numbers just don't stick in my head the way words do. Someone told me once that it is called being illnumerate, but I don't think I can even claim that. I can function with them. We just don't get along very well. For me, numbers are like a foreign language that I have learned to speak and use, but not think in. My "first language" is words. :-) Maybe it just goes to show, on another level, that I am not an organized, logical, systematic person. lol

About Me

My photo
I'm a Southern gal raised in MS, married to my sweet Matt from MO, the busy mamma to 4 (soon to be 5)young children. I'm realizing more all the time how I am helpless to do anything for Christ on my own. Yet when I yield myself to Him and ask for His wisdom and His power to be the wife, mom, and woman of God He wants me to be I am amazed at how He gives it. And I'm finally beginning to really understand worship as more than a church service.
